Chapter 26 Who's so wicked?
There was a bucket of clean water next to her. After washing the vegetables, Daya gave them to Yewan.
Chu Xiujie glanced at the little girl, quite perceptive, and then sat down again.
Ye Wan scalded the vegetables and poured the broth over them, and Chu Xiujie ate from the bamboo bowl.
"The taste is really good. I haven't eaten or slept well since I came to this godforsaken place. No need to look for anything else."
Chu Xiujie broke out in a sweat, wiped it off hastily, took out a handful of copper coins, and handed them over without counting.
Just as they were about to leave, Daya spoke up, "Guest, you don't have enough money."
Chu Xiujie: ...
I've never been so humiliated in my life.
"Fine." Chu Xiujie gritted his teeth and grabbed another handful of copper coins. "That should be enough, right?"
Daya quickly counted the extra copper coins and handed them over.
"No need to look anymore." Chu Xiujie turned and walked away quickly.
Daya helped pack things up, "Mom, we can add the vegetables in too."
I made 15 coins from that bowl of food after deducting the cost.
The vegetable vendor standing nearby immediately lit up when he heard this. "Madam Ye, if you want to buy vegetables, come to me and I'll give you a discount."
"If we were to buy, you would be the first person we would contact. The cost of vegetables is too high. We've only just started, so let's talk about it again later."
Ye Wan thought that she could grow some bean sprouts, and then add them to the vegetables planted in the back of the yard. If she added vegetables, she would have to raise the price to avoid losing money.
"father."
Ye Wan heard San Ya's happy voice, turned her head and saw Lin Anyuan.
Lin Anyuan was still wearing his long gown, which he wore to make a good impression, as he walked over in the sunlight.
"Dad, you're injured? Did you go to fight someone?" Da Ya noticed the injury on his hand.
Lin Anyuan glanced at Da Ya and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I just accidentally scratched myself."
Upon hearing this, Daya lowered her head and cautiously said, "Father, I won't go to the embroidery room."
Lin Anyuan remained expressionless. "Well, it's good that you're with your mother. She can't manage on her own."
"How could you let her go alone before? Do you know what happened to her today..." Ye Wan whispered about the peddler.
She felt that since Lin Anyuan was a father, he should know that such things should be prevented in the future, and that Daya should not be allowed to go out alone.
After saying that, Ye Wan realized she had said too much. Given the previous situation, what could Da Ya do if she didn't go out to earn money? Would she starve?
Seeing that Lin Anyuan had no reaction, he sighed, and the next second he took out one or two taels of silver.
"Where did you get so much money?" Ye Wan asked in surprise. She had been so busy all day and hadn't earned a single tael of silver.
Did Lin Anyuan pick it up when he went out?
“Zhang Fuhu wants to build a summer retreat, and I drew a plan for him,” Lin Anyuan explained the source of the silver. “I’m going to buy some rice.”
"Lin Anyuan, you still remember that I love rice? You have a conscience." Ye Wan was happy. She couldn't bear to buy rice with the money she earned herself, as rice was much more expensive than noodles.
Lin Anyuan glanced at her and said, "You're overthinking it. Everyone loves white rice, as long as they're not stupid."
Ye Wan: ...
She's just being narcissistic.
"Go wait by the oxcart, I'll be right back."
After finishing his sentence, Lin Anyuan turned and left.
"Let's go, let's stand here so that no more people come."
Ye Wan pushed the cart and beckoned the two maids to follow her.
Daya quickly stepped in to help push.
"Mom, isn't that Ye Wan, that good-for-nothing, right?!"
Ye Yaozu pointed to the people not far away.
Old Mrs. Qian, holding the medicine she had just bought, suddenly became furious. "It really is that wretched girl! What's she doing in town?"
That beast Lin Anyuan is really ruthless. Ye Yaozu has been nursing for so many days before he can finally walk.
However, the two of them no longer dared to cause trouble for Lin Anyuan.
“I think he was somewhere over there just now. Go and ask around.”
Ye Yaozu didn't go, but Old Lady Qian went by herself.
Just as the vegetable vendor was about to pack up and pack up his stall, seeing that there weren't many customers left, Old Lady Qian arrived and inquired about Lady Ye.
“Our family is poor. We’re afraid of disturbing her life after she gets married, so we don’t dare to go. We’re afraid that her in-laws will think we’re taking advantage of her. Can you tell me how she is?” Old Mrs. Qian had a bitter face, clearly from a poor family.
"Your daughter's business is booming, now you can rest assured," the vegetable vendor told him about Ye Wan's stall there.
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the mother and son looked strange, and he immediately realized that he might have done something wrong with good intentions.
This is clearly someone who can't stand to see their daughter doing well.
"You good-for-nothing, why wasn't Lin Anyuan beaten to death? Yaozu, go ask her for money. She's your sister, all the money she earns is yours."
Old Mrs. Qian was filled with remorse whenever she thought about that little slut Ye Wan, who had lost an ounce of silver.
“I was beaten up like that, so I’m not going anyway. You can go by yourself.” Ye Yaozu shrank back, he was scared, he wouldn’t go.
Old Mrs. Qian was also afraid, but she was unwilling to swallow her anger.
"Mother, have you prepared the betrothal gifts? I want to marry Xianglan."
Ye Yaozu has recently been injured on the face and his arm is also sore, so he doesn't dare to see Xianglan. Xianglan has already sent someone to tell him again that if he can't come up with the betrothal gifts by next month at the latest, her father will marry her off to someone else.
"We're still short a bit." Old Mrs. Qian thought for a moment. "Your eldest sister has been married for a while now and hasn't come back to visit her parents' home yet. Does she think I'm dead? Let's ask her for some money so we can marry her off first."
Xianglan, that bitch, we'll talk about her after she's inside.
"It'll work with my older sister," Ye Yaozu thought it was feasible.
I had only walked a few steps when I saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of the alley.
"What's going on up ahead? Why are there so many people?" Ye Yaozu craned his neck to see what was happening.
An old woman spoke up, "The short peddler who often runs near the embroidery shop was beaten up. His head was covered in blood, and his arms and legs were broken. I don't know who is so despicable."
Ye Yaozu shuddered, recalling the terrifying memory of that night, and turned to run away, refusing to even go to Ye Hua's house.
Old Mrs. Qian chased after him, calling out, "Yaozu, Yaozu, didn't we say we were going to your eldest sister's house?"
...
...
"How could I have married a barren hen like you?"
In Wangjia Village, Wang Hu slapped Ye Hua across the face, his honest and simple face contorted with rage.
Ye Hua covered her face after being hit, got up and ran outside.
The courtyard gate was open, and some villagers who had come to join the fun tried to dissuade them.
“Wang Hu, your wife has only been married for a short time, it’s normal that she doesn’t have a child yet. You’re too impatient. Hurry up and find her. If she really runs away, you’ll be crying.”
Wang Hutou's wife couldn't take the beatings anymore and jumped into the river and died.
He just married another woman, so he must be rich; otherwise, how could he afford to marry a woman who costs five taels of silver?
“She’s my wife, where could she run off to? Even if she goes back to her parents’ home, she’ll be back in a couple of days.”
Wang Hu wasn't afraid at all; what woman doesn't get beaten?
Given Ye Yaozu and Old Lady Qian's attitude, the person was sent back before nightfall.
I must teach her a lesson this time when she comes back. She dared to run away after being hit once, so I didn't hit her hard enough.
